[ESS] Failed match for ess-function-pattern

[Peter Meilstrup]

Over both eval-function (which doesn't usually do what I want when I
have inner functions) and eval-paragraph (which doesn't when I put a
line break in a function definition), I would prefer a command that
did "evaluate all lines that include the top-level bracket enclosing
point." That would be easy to implement using parse-partial-sexp and
cover the case discussed here.
